In my America, Citizens have rights and respect. Non citizen criminal illegal aliens are not entitled to such luxury

Yeah but he was jacking up law abiding American citizens going about their business, and let me repeat he, was told by the court that his actions
were unconstitutional and to STOP!!..
It's not like they just showed up and decide to prosecute him with out prior warning.
But big bad Joe a lawman had no use for laws.
Baah screw the courts said he.

There is no proof Arpaio did racial profiling. If you are Latino and he stops you and asks for ID, that is not proof of racial profiling. A law
enforcement officer has every right to stop anyone and ask for ID.

If you are Latino and he stops you and interns you without suspecting anything, then you have a point to sue him. But stopping you and asking for ID,
you don't have a point to sue him.

Except both the DoJ and a court of law stated that the MCSO was racially profiling members of the public. That seems like pretty damning proof. If you
want specific examples...

One specific incident comes immediately to mind. A car gets pulled over in a seemingly routine traffic stop. However, once the officer gets to the car
they don't ask the driver for their license and registration. Instead they asked the Latino passenger for their ID. Since he wasn't driving he didn't
have it on him. At which point the deputy arrested the man while letting the driver go without even so much as a warning.

So, explain to us how that is not racial profiling. Clearly the only crime the deputy was trying to enforce was "Being a passenger (not even driving)
while brown."

If Latinos don't want to be racially profiled, they should speak to their brethren in Mexico and tell them not to come to America illegally. Arizona,
Nevada, Florida, California, Texas, New Mexico are American land by war. They are no longer Spanish lands. Mexicans should not try to take them back
by illegal immigration.

If you go to any other country, including Canada and Australia, every cop is like Arpaio. Illegals are not found in any other country because they
have strong law enforcement against illegals. Only in America are people generous to illegals and allow them to come to America by the tens of
millions and live there.

Arpaio is just a regular cop in Canada. Only in America is he considered a racist bigot.

You cannot prove racial profiling. Even if every person stopped for ID by Arpaio is a black person, it doesn't prove racial profiling. Cops have the
right to stop anyone for ID. It's part of their powers.

Here in Canada there are no illegals because cops arrest them all, not like America where they can live without harassment. Here in Canada people are
required to show ID to prove citizenship before they are allowed to vote, not like in America where anyone can vote.

Canada is far more strict than America in terms of law. If you come to Canada you will understand what I mean.

If you want something else though I'll direct your attention to Ortega Melendres v. Apraio. Specifically the appeal. This case was suit brought
against the MCSO claiming they were employing unconstitutional techniques that targeted Hispanics, with a specific emphasis on the MCSO's "saturation
patrols." In the end the court found in favor of the plaintiff.

After, the MCSO attempted to appeal the decision (Spoiler: They lost.) Now they weren't appealing the decision because they disagreed with the judge.
They were appealing because they thought the judge was too broad in their decision. See, the judge ruled that the MCSO needed to look at all of their
techniques and revise them to fit within the law. The MCSO argued that only their saturation patrols were unconstitutional; and that since those were
the focus of the case that should be the only area the judge's decision should apply.

The MCSO came out and said that had used unconstitutional profiling tactics.

It's much like Arpaio's recent plight. He actually plead guilty in civil court to contempt. It was only the federal charge that he fought.

If you want to brush up on the topic here are the court documents from Ortega Melendres v. Arpaio and United States v. Maricopa
County.

"The occupant of the White House has claimed the power to permit government agents to violate the Constitutional rights of Americans and to
override the courts if he doesn't like what they're doing. This is the largest single step toward autocracy Trump has taken."
